    The new game from the creators of Myst is a first-person puzzle adventure similar to previous titles from the developer, but its proposal is too old-school to connect with players accustomed to modern titles. Recommended for those looking for a challenge like games offered in the 90´s in a video game that does not take the player by the hand and offers a gorgeous world to explore.

    Looking at undoubtely the golden decade of arcades, SNK launches a bunch of their games. Some will makes us smile remembering, like the first Metal Slug, Fatal Fury and Art of Fighting, but some won't. Better online features would be welcomed, but anyways the overall feeling of this compilation isn't a bad one thanks to the versatility of genres.

    Spiderman is back with a completely new adventure that makes us forget the poorly done Friend or Foe, being closer to the fantastic Spider-Man 3. Web of Shadows has a lot of untapped potential, but it falls short for its technical problems and some bugs. However, it has a fantastic combat system and an impressive storyline.

    This remaster of the original title proves its point: de Blob 2 can still be relevant and fun to play in 2018. While it is certainly not a must have or a perfect game, it has its charm. A very good choice for the kids at home, since it has this feel of being some sort of "my first platformer game".

    Brink tries to present many good ideas, but it falls short and, in the end, it's just the same gameplay mechanics we've seen many times. The SMART system is not as dynamic as it should be; the game modes are all the same; the feeling, overall, is that we have a fun and interesting multiplayer game (even in its Campaign mode), but users are left without new emotions. Many customization options that, in the end, are nothing new.

    The 25th Ward is an interesting game which has an intricate story with complex moments that makes hard to know what's happening.

    Snack World finally comes to Europe with its latest version, fully equipped with dozens of hours of content. This is great at first glance, because if you like the game and you enjoy its mechanics, the enjoyment is just guaranteed. However, despite the well-executed multiplayer options and a huge variety of content, the overall experience comes out to be so repetitive after 20 hours or so, which is a pity as Level-5 doesn’t explore the gameplay options as much as it could have been.

    This new Xbox 360 exclusive is not what we expected. It has a lot of potential: it's a game with a lot of action in it, great gameplay, and quite charming. But it reuses many of its gameplay elements: backgrounds and enemies are almost always the same, and the game is not as deep as it promises at the beginning. A good game, but From Software could have done it much better.

    A little space adventure that is more that it seems, Deliver us the Moon is an emotional journey into a very solitary Space, one in which we are completely alone. The gameplay always try to give us something new to do, and the story is both compelling and engaging. Even with its flaws -some mechanics need to be polished or redesigned, puzzles are too easy, long loading times-, the game manages to be quite an experience -your first time on the Moon surface is amazingly hypnotic- and a great astronaut simulator.

    Using a background, elements and references to classic Horror and FantaTerror, Tape: Unveil the memories is one of those effective games that comes to tell you a story and that's it. In this case, one with very uncomfortable elements that the videogame doesn't usually use, although it doesn't take advantage of them either. The original use of the camera, the good sound design, the elements of Galicia and its Fantastic tradition stand out in a game that strangely doesn't want to be a horror game and continually refuses to scare, nor does it create tension. But the narrative ride, puzzles and its scripted surprises are well worth the experience.
